Agree Banker, Bahamas has one of the least savvy immigration law of the planet. Who wants a Bahamian passport if you have to give up your Italian passport?

It is a game to squeeze the competition, Delaware will not be touched, the US does not participate in automatic exchange of information (well inward only via FATCA), the UK is the biggest Laundromat and applying an all crimes statute properly would land 50% of the suits on High street in jail with all the Kazach, Russian, Malaysian and African money. So David here (=Bahamas) has a simple choice. Play the game or stay out. Don't do half ass stuff. Bahamas is one of the only games in town for people that have a tax history and don't want to subject themselves to the automatic exchange of information: Give away residences for money, once they are residents of the Bahamas and have their money here, there is no basis for an exchange of information to other nations. But again the government is involved in bashing Rollins and Moss, and the arts of semantics on mortgage relief, drone legislation, and covering up the over spending on the Carnival. The train is leaving the station. It seems this Government has given up on the Financial Services Industry. Exactly what the big boys wanted us to do.

so maybe AG's should hang out with the big guys in London, New York, Dubai, Zurich, Singapore, Frankfurt and lick the global powerbroker's behinds rather then the PMs in downtown Nassau. Might be more efficient (and the wines they order better as well).

Don't residents have to declare at immigration going into the Bahamas, when they bring lots of money or monetary instruments? if so, why isn't the Bahamas grabbing the other 50% of the account to secure the fines that have to be imposed on the banker and CIBC?

I misread the beginning of the article.

*was made as a part of recent a cost-cutting initiative to boost “frequency, reliability and cost efficiency”.*

I thought they were talking about the pilots.

and the Hon. Min. in charge is hiding.

yada yada yada. I am convinced this investigatiowill go much faster than the other - still uncontained Rubis mess - knowing that next to the termite infestations a fuel leak and long term contamination may put pressure on house prices in Sandyport. There is enough economic and political power figures living in Sandyport to get Mr. Dorsett going (incl. US Embassy employees).

you don't need power. you only need money. and 300k or whatever it was gets you far in the Bahamas.

I don't think the general public cares about FNM or PLP here. The person taking the bribe needs to be prosecuted and charged. If members of the government were involved: the same.

yep as if there was no better or more important news.
